JET2 incident at Leeds Bradford?
 

Reports earlier this afternoon of a Jet2 737 parked up at the end of 32 surrounded by fire engines and police nearby including air support.
Anyone know what was going on?

It was Jet2.com Boeing 757-200, G-LSAH, With a Hydraulic problem. She was operating the LS251 to Faro. At about 10 mins after departure and climbing through flight level 17,000ft, she was overhead Chester and made a u-turn and returned back into Leeds.

A replacement aircraft, Boeing 757-200, G-LSAI has just positioned in to Leeds from RAF Brize Norton to operated the delayed service's over-night.

Flight level 17,000 ft eh?
This is supposed to be a professional forum!:ugh:

And your reply personifies professionalism does it?

No worse than all those aviation people who put aeroplanes in "hangers".

I pay 'hangarage' for my aeroplane. I also fly my works jet at FL170.

And i sometimes look at what is jokingly called a professional website.

There is a spotters sub-forum a little further down the menu.

And I had my epaulettes extended to fit more stripes on them too!

Christ sake, for all you know he may have made a typo.

So this is what the world of pprune has come too then SFCC? At the end of the day 17,000ft or flight level 170 is the bloody same thing for god sake. Well to most people it is...

I shouldn't have replied at all to the original post. Never mind i'll learn from me mistake. I now know not to post or reply to reports of an incident on here anymore from now on.

With people like yourself SFCC what is the point?

Sorry fella.

Where do you fit in to the above?

You revealed your hand by stating a very obvious faux-pas.

Night night

Now In all fairness, this particular forum description is...


Spectators Balcony (Spotters Corner) If you're not a professional pilot but want to discuss issues about the job, this is the best place to loiter. You won't be moved on by 'security' and there'll be plenty of experts to answer any questions.

During a recent CRM course, our instructor reminded us that we make on average 30 errors a day. It is ok to make mistakes, in fact it is human nature to make mistakes. When we recognise a colleague has made a mistake and it needs clarifying then we speak up, but it is important we do it in a way that is both professional and respectful. I can guarantee they will be doing the same to you later on, the skill of a professional therefore is not to get all high and mighty about how they made the mistake of calling it "Flight level 17,000" rather than "Flight level 170". It's a great example though and one that would need clarifying, I can just hear myself now "did ATC clear us seven thousand, seventeen thousand, flight level?" So we would get back onto the controller to ask, and then ensure we both had the correct altimeter setting and cross check them.

This forum has a terrible culture, some almost taking a smug pride in pointing out others errors. Thankfully where I work it's all about "nuture". It's a heck of a lot easier to admit mistakes to your colleagues and yourself when you know you wont have to defend yourself like you have to on here.

<<17,000ft or flight level 170>>

Depending on what pressure setting you're using to measure 17,000ft. It might be considerably different to FL170 which is measured on the standard setting.
